Types of cookies and their uses
Types of cookies
There are two types of cookies – session cookies (cookies that are strictly necessary), and persistent cookies. Cookies are also divided into first-party or third-party cookies. The above terms are explained below so that you can better understand the nature of cookies and why we use them.
Session cookies (cookies that are strictly necessary)
Session cookies allow us to recognise the browser and your device, the Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to your device when you visit a particular website, to remember any changes or choices you make on a particular website so that they can be used on other parts of the website, for example – providing you with access to other restricted areas of the website after you have successfully logged in to the website until you have made a working Logout. These cookies allow you to quickly and easily use multiple pages of the same website, avoiding the need to log in to the website to visit each protected section of the website. Session cookies are not persistent – they will expire when you close the browser on which you were viewing the website, or end your session on that particular website.
Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies are cookies that are stored on the device you are using to view the website for a pre-defined period of time, with a countdown after the end of the browsing session. The cookies stored allow the application of user preferences or actions on the website each time you visit the website.
First-party cookies
First-party cookies are cookies created by our website. They can be identified by the domain name of our website.
Third-party cookies
Third party cookies are cookies from websites that are not ours. The domain names of these websites are different from the domain of our website. Third party cookies may also be stored on your device from which you browse our website.
